It seems like everyday I wake up in backward world. Up is down. Down is up. People who pay their bills on time and spend within their means are the bad guys, and people who don’t are the victims. And it’s the government’s job to rescue people from their own financial screw-ups.
First, we have the [...]
Sometimes, if I have a long drive to take in the afternoon, I will put on Rush Limbaugh to see what he’s talking about.
One day, he was talking about the Obama personal finance plan, or something like that. He said that you should not try to get your spending under control, but continue to spend [...]
Sunday was “Debt Day,” the day the US government spent all its tax revenues. For the rest of the fiscal year, all money spent by the government is borrowed money.
For perspective, last year, Debt Day fell on August 5. It was September 9 the year before that.

The mantra of the Obama administration.
And they don’t intend to let the AIG crisis pass without using it to justify expanding the powers of the federal government.
“Our system failed in fundamental ways. To address this will require comprehensive reform. Not modest repairs at the margin, but new rules of the game.”

Well, we can laugh or we can cry. It’s Friday, for Pete’s sake, let’s laugh. There will be [...]
Here’s the “targeted, timely, and temporary” stimulus proposal President Obama said he wanted. And it was proposed by a Democrat, not a Republican.
[The] START plan is a $170 billion “bare bones” pure stimulus approach that would put $100 billion immediately into the pockets of low- and middle-income Americans, then use the other $70 billion for [...]
